Octane Render open for preorder now!

Posted on August 15, 2023 by David

Hi! I made a comic called Octane Render about A.I. generative art, which you might have seen earlier in the year. I had a really big response to it, and got into a few conversations I thought I should try to address. So the print version is now available for preorder on Pozible. If this crowdfund / pre-order goes well, you’ll get about 70 pages of material instead of the 28 in the original.

Octane Render: artists talk about A.I. art

Posted on April 18, 2023April 18, 2023 by David

I have a big long comic up at a site called Friends With Benefits — it’s called Octane Render and it’s about A.I. generative art, viewed through the lens of the indie-comics community I’m part of. About nine months ago I wrote the following to people who get my newsletter (sign up! top right of…

Cartoonist Income Charted On A Split Orange 2014

A cartoonist’s income

Posted on June 27, 2014July 26, 2014 by David

On Wednesday I started doing my taxes by tallying up my income for 2013/14. Because this is so exciting, I live-tweeted it. This year’s count is unusual in that, most years, I am employed on a full time contract for at least part of the year. This one, not. — David Blumenstein (@nakedfella) June 25,…

2013: a recap

Posted on January 3, 2014July 25, 2014 by David

BE A MAN: Precinct colour palettes

Posted on July 3, 2013July 25, 2014 by David

Not to make a big deal of it, but I’m designing the rooms in The Precinct so that they get bluer and colder the further back into the building you go. The women’s bathroom sits outside that because it was more recently renovated.

“How cheap can you make it?” – why I’m making a TV series, but not for TV

Posted on June 11, 2013July 25, 2014 by David

For years I asked myself why Australia hasn’t had its own animated series for adults. Now I know that it’s my own fault!         “Pretty cheap!” Last year I went to a launch event put on by our state film funding body and SBS, Australia’s multicultural government TV network. At the drinks…

David Blumenstein

I’m a service designer, cartoonist and co-founder of Squishface Studio. I’ve done comics for The Guardian, Crikey and Australian MAD. Currently also deputy president of the Australian Cartoonists Association.

I usually write about things that shit me off, from bad bosses (The Bret Braddock Adventures) to pick-up artists (#takedown) to white supremacist trolls (The Internet’s Most Trolled Cartoonist) to predatory cults (Why Los Angeles is Scientology’s perfect city) and nasty tech bros (Octane Render: Cartoonists talk about A.I. art).

I’m working on graphic novels called Sciensatics (about cultists) and Free Money, Please (about wealth and passive income).
